Erin Thiem is the owner of Outside Inn, a small hotel in a quiet neighborhood in downtown Nevada City. She publishes articles on many local activities, events, and businesses in town, including her own.

BriarPatch itself is a local, community-owned business, and we promote a strong and sustainable community by supporting other local businesses. Every dollar spent at BriarPatch has roughly three times as much local economic impact as a dollar spent at a non-locally owned business.
